Bioinspired Artificial Intelligent Nociceptive Alarm System Based on Fibrous Biomemristors

Abstract

With the advancement of modern medical and brain-computer interface devices, flexible artificial nociceptors with tactile perception hold significant scientific importance and exhibit great potential in the fields of wearable electronic devices and biomimetic robots. Here, a bioinspired artificial intelligent nociceptive alarm system integrating sensing monitoring and transmission functions is constructed using a silk fibroin (SF) fibrous memristor. This memristor demonstrates high stability, low operating power, and the capability to simulate synaptic plasticity. As a result, an artificial pressure nociceptor based on the SF fibrous memristor can detect both fast and chronic pain and provide a timely alarm in the event of a fall or prolonged immobility of the carrier. Further, an array of artificial pressure nociceptors not only monitors the pressure distribution across various parts of the carrier but also provides direct feedback on the extent of long-term pressure to the carrier. This work holds significant implications for medical support in biological carriers or targeted maintenance of electronic carriers.
